Casey Scott grew
up being told he’d never amount to anything, and despite the unwavering love and support
from his best friend, Jake, the idea sticks in the back of Casey’s mind. When
he discovers he has
a unique destiny in an enclave where shifters and humans live together, he

seizes the
chance, wanting for once in his life to be someone special.

Tsvetok Yerokhin
lost his parents to the evil ruler of the enclave when he was a boy. The responsibilities
of raising his two younger brothers nearly overwhelmed him and self-doubt took over. When
the new Alpha and his Protector arrive in time to save his life, Sev is
grateful, but he’s even
more shocked when he scents his mate with them.

Casey isn’t
prepared for the feelings that sweep over him when he meets Sev, but he refuses
to act on them
because he’s straight. Still, there is something so alluring about Sev that
Casey can’t help being drawn
to him.

As the two
explore the edges of their new discovery, an evil returns, determined to
control the enclave or
destroy it. The Alpha and Protector are powerless to stop it, but Casey holds
the key

to victory. If
he can discover what it is, he has a chance to save them all. To be the hero.

Unfortunately,
the hero has to be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, and for Casey that

“This
night is shot,” Casey mumbled. “Hakii, if you’re there, I’m sorry. I need to
find him. I’ll try to be back as soon as I can. Oh, and if you’re not there, I
hope you’re getting a damn good laugh at me talking to myself.”

The
night air had chilled considerably. Casey threw on a sweater and hurried to the
Alpha’s house. Before he could pound on the door, it swung open. Jake stood
there wearing nothing at all.

“Oh
god, my eyes.”

Jake
sighed. “You’ve seen me before. A lot, if I recall correctly.”

“And
every time I do, I remember that I need to create eye bleach.”

Jake
faked a laugh. “Yeah, you’re hilarious. What do you want?”

“A
guy came to my house tonight. His name is Sev, and I think he’s in trouble.”

All
humor fled from Jake’s face. “What happened?”

Casey
told him about the visit. “He…called me his mate. What the hell is that about?”

“Later.
We’ve got to find him.”

In
an instant, Jake transformed into a beautiful black jaguar. Zak came rushing to
the door. “What is wrong?”

Before
Casey could answer, Zak grabbed a heavy coat and squirmed into it. “Jake will
track him. You will come with us.”

“Zak,
he called me his mate. Why would he do that?”

“You
worry about this now? I do not see where this matters. If you prefer, you may
stay behind.”

Casey
sobered immediately. “No, you’re right. I’m sorry.”

They
tracked Jake as he hurried to the woods. When they heard him roar, Zak and
Casey ran to the edge of the forest. Jake had transformed back to his human
form and, man, was he pissed.

“Come
out here, now,” he demanded.

There
was no movement, but Casey heard a clicking noise, followed by the familiar
stamping of feet.

“You
spray me and I swear to the gods I will neuter you. Put your damn tail down and
face us as a man, Sev.”

Parker Williams believes that true
love exists, but it always comes with a price. No happily ever after can ever
be had without work, sweat, and tears that come with melding lives together.

Living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Parker held his job
for nearly 28 years before he decided to retire and try new things. He enjoys
his new life as a stay-at-home author and also working on Pride-Promotions, an LGBT author promotion service.

J. Geils Band - Love Stinks (because you knew with a skunk shifter, that would have to be one of the songs)

Sloppy Seconds - I Don’t Wanna Be a Homosexual (something that Casey has to face)

Harry Chapin - Cat’s in the Cradle (because Casey’s relationship with his father isn’t one of mutual love)

Human Sexual Response - What Does Sex Mean to Me? (Casey has to learn to separate the sex part from the love part, and realize who you love is more important than what gender they are)

Kelly Marie - It Feels Like I’m in Love (Sev when he meets Casey)

Little River Band - Lonesome Loser (Casey had been in the enclave for six months and couldn’t find anyone to share his life, and he watched his friends in love, feeling like he was going to be alone forever.)
